• Dürnstein

  
  — Authority:
  After more than six months break - and a bit of back and waist problems in the meantime - I finally managed to get out on rock again! Could I have picked a more scenic location for the big occasion than Dürnstein in Niederösterreich? Well, probably yes, but certainly not as close to Budapest! Dürnstein is ca. 80 ...

  Photographing Utah's Red Rock Country — Authority: 99
  Every time that I have driven by Mexican Hat Rock in Utah, I always have the question of how does it remain balanced there so precariously.  Well, last Thanksgiving while driving by with my wife and daughter on our way to Monumnent Valley, we noticed an adventurous climber hanging off the side of the Mexican Hat ...

• GIRP: Brain-Twisting Rock-Climbing

  
  — Authority:
  A little while back, I wrote about the insanely difficult running simulator called QWOP .  It turns out that the creator of QWOP, Bennett Froddy, wasnt satisfied with making just one frustrating Flash game.  As a result, the nightmare continues with Froddys next creation: GIRP . Whereas QWOP was all about ...

• Ammagamma – Session 5

  
  — Authority:
  My last climbing day in the Gramps. At 6.30am, way before sunrise, it was already 11c. My skin was very sore, the blood blisters and bruising on my right hand pinky, middle, and index all too sore to touch. On the drive to the crag I went into hardcore PMA mode. We listened to Queen’s breakthrough and under ...

• Ammagamma – Session 4

  
  — Authority:
  Day 30. I’d taken a single rest day and then it was straight back to the citadel. Conditions were amazing. The car showed 4c at 7.30am. This was the coldest it had been. Fate was finally dealing me a break. Trekking back up I still wasn’t sure if I could do it. I’d done all the moves. I told myself that this ...

• Slape Crags, Carrock Fell

  
  — Authority:
  As Ian’s post shows, Monday’s weather dawned very disappointingly! The wall-to-wall sunshine promised by the weather forecasters just wasn’t to be seen. We procrastinated for a couple of hours knowing that early starts are unwise for rock climbing at this time of year, thus allowing the rock to warm up. Then as ...

• Ammagamma – Session 3

  
  — Authority:
  The move. It was day 28 of our trip. We’d headed up to the far flung crag of Cave Club to do the classic v10 Cave Club. An awesome problem on really good rock which I’d managed to despatch relatively quickly. I was keen to ride the wave of success and so we cruised down to Ammagamma. The really great ...

• Walking On Rocks

  
  — Authority:
  The first few times when I started hiking, I had this paradigm that I had to walk between the rocks--sort of like hopscotch--then I realized that I could walk on them. For a long time, I had heard about how thinking within the box constrains our thought processes and innovation.  It was interesting for me ...

  [Warning - The next several posts are going to be highly granular when it comes to climbing. I doubt many people have ever written so much waffle about a single bloc. You have been warned.] The first session on Ammagamma came on Day 5 of our trip. I went there knowing I was about to face the goal of my trip. In ...

• Oz – Over the Cliff (a discrete jump)

  
  — Authority:
  When the weather did turn it didn’t just cool down a little, it fell off a cliff. We went to sleep after another day in the high 30′s and the forecast was still telling me that the following day it would max out in the mid 20′s. I genuinely couldn’t believe it would happen overnight, but when we awoke the next ...

• Oz – Starting Again

  Arriving in the Grampians was a dream come true. Whilst the dream of being able to pull on perfect orange sandstone was manifesting itself, some other factors were doing their best to turn the dream into a nightmare.

  Yesterday was the first day in nearly a year that I was able to climb outside.
